Mercenaries

Just coming back to the forums after a looooooong while, and had an AMAZING idea while looking at the addition of bandits- mercenaries.

Some kind of NPC that would require a quest, sum of money or an item and could then be hired (permanently?) to do your bidding!

What do you guys think?

 

This should go the suggestions section of the forum.
Other than that your proposal seems extremely vague. What tasks do you have in mind that the mercenary could perform for you?
It would most likely be tedious to code something like that - depending on what you have in mind.

 

I would assume standard merc stuff, stab x, shoot y, defend z. I would like to be able to hire myself out.

 

Well there are already bandits in game, but what if YOU could become a mercenary? Flying across the stars hunting down targets you're paid to kill, sometimes having to kill your employer because they didn't want to pay.

 

Isn't that what you basically are in a broad sense when ever you accept a random mission?

Someone needs something done, you do it and they pay you in pixels or items.

 

i think the guy wants to be able to start is own triad of assassins

 

Better yet
On servers, you can hunt down other players. Break into their houses and bases, sneaking around until you find them.

 

A good idea really, nothing like venturing the space and planets without a good gun by your side, beyond yours of course. Something that isn't seen to often, to me at least in this style of game.

 

If it's anything like Skyrim where I can make them my storage-monkeys, sure!

 

Apologies for not putting it in the suggestions section, as I said it's been a while, and couldn't even figure it out Q_Q

 

I think that would already be an option in the game...

 

This! so much this! if not atleast someone should mod it on.

 

Well, we are getting a little bit off topic, but seeing as this is so sparkly, maybe you could attain some sort of profession as a character?

 

Yeah that would be fun, and not only mercenaries but maybe also more peaceful ones such as a travelling merchant.
Could be fun to have proffesions in the game but then again i think it should be entirely optional.

To egt back to the topic at hand i think it would be cool to hire a mercenary to do your bidding but i dont think it should be permanent he should be by your side til he alteast dies or you should be limited to only have one mercenary at a time or it would become a bit OP.
